KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Make HPT reading code notice R/C bit changes
At present, the code that determines whether a HPT entry has changed,
and thus needs to be sent to userspace when it is copying the HPT,
doesn't consider a hardware update to the reference and change bits
(R and C) in the HPT entries to constitute a change that needs to
be sent to userspace. This adds code to check for changes in R and C
when we are scanning the HPT to find changed entries, and adds code
to set the changed flag for the HPTE when we update the R and C bits
in the guest view of the HPTE.
Since we now need to set the HPTE changed flag in book3s_64_mmu_hv.c
as well as book3s_hv_rm_mmu.c, we move the note_hpte_modification()
function into kvm_book3s_64.h.
Current Linux guest kernels don't use the hardware updates of R and C
in the HPT, so this change won't affect them. Linux (or other) kernels
might in future want to use the R and C bits and have them correctly
transferred across when a guest is migrated, so it is better to correct
this deficiency.
